In myth and fairy tale across many cultures, ravens and crows are endowed with the power to move individuals from one attitude to another, from one way of thinking to new knowledge, even from life to death. Being highly intelligent animals, ravens and crows represent insight and can bring us new understanding about ourselves, who we are, our drives and motivations. If we are not attending to our inner voices, these birds, often in the guise of a trickster spirit, will perform their magic too bring new self realizations to light.
